A plus sign marks a lower bound. “Not released” means BLS withheld the estimate; “Not available” means no estimate was provided. Hourly figures come from BLS, without dividing annual pay by assumed work hours.

Estimated employment: 88,680. This covers jobs in the published area, not residents of one county.

The middle half of annual wages runs from $35,300 to $43,070 in 2025, a span of $7,770. Percentiles describe the wage distribution across jobs. They do not identify experience levels or promise an offer.
